10. I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet

12. Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw seven golden lampstands,
13. y en medio de los candeleros como a un Hijo de hombre, vestido de una túnica talar, cen6ido al talle con un ceñidor de oro.
13. and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden girdle round his breast;
14. Su cabeza y sus cabellos eran blancos, como la lana blanca, como la nieve; sus ojos como llama de fuego ;
14. his head and his hair were white as white wool, white as snow; his eyes were like a flame of fire,
15. sus pies parecían de metal precioso acrisolado en el horno; su voz como voz de grandes aguas.
15. his feet were like burnished bronze, refined as in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of many waters;
